You’re not a medical student, so you wouldn’t know, but it’s well studied that making people feel bad for being fat actually makes them fatter. So sparing their feelings about their fatness is actually the correct behavior if we want to encourage the average American to lose weight. A fat person isn’t ignorant about their fatness, but not treating them any different for being fat is actually the path to get them thin.

That doesn't mean that doctors shouldn't tell their patients to lose some freaking weight if they're obese. Fat sympathy is a cultural problem. But also all the seed oils, sugars, and fakeness in our foods is another problem.
- SamoyedFurFluff 4y agoI didn’t downvote you. Im just telling you that displays of fat shaming actually make fat people fatter, statistically, while there’s no evidence that fat sympathy does the same (and in fact might do the opposite).
